Insulated Rimboard

The Quick & Easy Way To Insulate The Floor Perimeter

EMERCOR's Insulated Rimboard is an integral part in building a better home, delivering comfort, health and energy efficiency to homeowners. Accounting for up to 14 per cent of a homes total air infiltration, the Insulated Rimboard eliminates air leakage and enables proper workmanship during installation. Truly a time saving material, the Insulated Rimboard turns a three-step process into one easy and sure way to install insulation at the floor system.

Advantages

Energy Efficient - R 14:
Up to 14 per cent of total home air leakage occurs around the rim joist. EMERCOR's Insulated Rimboard decreases air leakage by ensuring that continuous R-14 insulation is placed around the floor perimeter.

Easy Installation - 20% Faster Install:
EMERCOR's Insulated Rimboard has a unique joining detail and installs up to 20 per cent faster than regular Rimboard. It also eliminates the nightmare of trying to insulate and seal around every floor joist.

Moisture Resistant - Type 1 Vapor Barrier:
EMERCOR's Insulated Rimboard has a vapor permeance of less than one, making it a Type 1 vapor barrier. This barrier prevents moisture condensation in the building envelope which leads to rot, mold and eventually structural damage.

Environmental - Reduce job site waste:
EMERCOR's Insulated Rimboard is engineered with a unique joining detail. This joining detail allows traditionally discarded pieces to be reused along the floor perimeter. EMERCOR's commitment to sustainability is driven through the 'EMERGreen Program', with an internal focus on implementing lean in both their manufacturing and office facility.
